### Config for notification and `click_action` in Android
90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102

To allow android to respond to `click_action`, you need to define Activities and filter on specific intent. Since all javascript is running in MainActivity, you can have MainActivity to handle actions:

Edit `AndroidManifest.xml`:

```diff
  <activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
+   android:launchMode="singleTop"
    android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">
    <intent-filter>
103 104
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
105 106
    </intent-filter>
  </activity>
107
```
108 109

Notes:
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
110
- `launchMode="singleTop"` is to reuse MainActivity, you can use `singleTask` or `singleInstance` as well depend on your need. [this link explains the behavior well](https://blog.mindorks.com/android-activity-launchmode-explained-cbc6cf996802)
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
111
- you if want to handle `click_action` you need to add custom intent-filter, check native android documentation
112 113


114
If you are using RN < 0.30.0 and react-native-fcm < 1.0.16, pass intent into package, edit `MainActivity.java`:

  public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

+   @Override

### Pod approach:

175
Make sure you have [Cocoapods](https://cocoapods.org/) version > 1.0
176

177
Configure the project:
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
178 179
```
cd ios && pod init
180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192
```

(In case of syntax errors, `open YOURApp.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj` and fix them.)

Edit the newly created `Podfile`:
```diff
  # Pods for YOURAPP
+ pod 'FirebaseMessaging'
```

Install the `Firebase/Messaging` pod:
```
pod install

NOTE: you don't need to enable `use_frameworks!`. if you have to have `use_frameworks!` make sure you don't have `inherit! :search_paths`

Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
198 199
1. Download the Firebase SDK framework from [Integrate without CocoaPods](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#frameworks).
- Import libraries, add Capabilities (background running and push notification), upload APNS and etc etc etc...
Libin Lu's avatar

2. Put frameworks under `ios/Pods` folder
201
2. Follow the `README` to link frameworks (Analytics+Messaging)

### FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled

This instruction assumes that you have FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled=YES (default) so that Firebase will hook on push notification registration events. If you turn this flag off, you will be on your own to manage APNS tokens and link with Firebase token.

### Build custom push notification for Android
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
427 428
Firebase android misses important feature of android notification like `group`, `priority` and etc. As a work around you can send data message (no `notification` payload at all) and this repo will build a local notification for you. If you pass `custom_notification` in the payload, the repo will treat the content as a local notification config and shows immediately.

Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
429
NOTE: By using this work around, you will have to send different types of payload for iOS and Android devices because custom_notification isn't supported on iOS
Libin Lu's avatar

WARNING: `custom_notification` **cannot** be used together with `notification` attribute. use `data` **ALONE**
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
432 433 434 435 436 437 438 439

**IMPORTANT**: When using the `admin.messaging` API, you need to `JSON.stringify` the `custom_notification` value:

```
let tokens = [...];
let payload = {
  data: {
    custom_notification: JSON.stringify({
      body: 'Message body',
      title: 'Message title'
      ...
    })
  }
};
let options = { priority: "high" };

admin
  .messaging()
  .sendToDevice(tokens, payload, options);
```

### Behaviour when sending `notification` and `data` payload through GCM
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
476
- When user clicks notification to **launch** the application, you can get that notification by calling `FCM.getInitialNotification`. (NOTE: reloading javascript or resuming from background won't change the value)
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
477

Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
478 479 480 481 482
- When app is running in background (the tricky one, I strongly suggest you try it out yourself)
 - IOS will receive notificaton from `FCMNotificationReceived` event
    * if you pass `content_available` flag true, you will receive one when app is in background and another one when user resume the app. [more info](http://www.rahuljiresal.com/2015/03/retract-push-notifications-on-ios/)
    * if you just pass `notification`, you will only receive one when user resume the app.
    * you will not see banner if `notification->body` is not defined.
483
 - Android will receive notificaton from `FCMNotificationReceived` event
Naisheel Verdhan's avatar
Naisheel Verdhan committed
484
    * if you pass `notification` payload, it will receive data when user click on notification
485 486 487 488 489
    * if you pass `data` payload only, it will receive data when in background

   e.g. fcm payload looks like:

   ```json
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
490 491 492 493 494 495 496 497 498 499 500 501 502
   {
      "to":"some_device_token",
      "content_available": true,
      "notification": {
          "title": "hello",
          "body": "yo",
          "click_action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"
      },
      "data": {
          "extra":"juice"
      }
    }
    ```
503 504

    and event callback will receive as:
505

506 507 508 509
    - Android
      ```json
      {
        "fcm": {"action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"},

      }
      ```
514

515 516 517 518

      ```json
      {
        "apns": {"action_category": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"},

### Quick notes about upstream messages
If your app server implements the [XMPP Connection Server](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/server#implementing-the-xmpp-connection-server-protocol) protocol, it can receive upstream messages from a user's device to the cloud. To initiate an upstream message, call the `FCM.send()` method with your Firebase `Sender ID` and a `Data Object` as parameters as follows:

```javascript
FCM.send('984XXXXXXXXX', {
534
  my_custom_data_1: 'my_custom_field_value_1',
535 536 537 538 539 540
  my_custom_data_2: 'my_custom_field_value_2'
});
```

The `Data Object` is message data comprising as many key-value pairs of the message's payload as are needed (ensure that the value of each pair in the data object is a `string`). Your `Sender ID` is a unique numerical value generated when you created your Firebase project, it is available in the `Cloud Messaging` tab of the Firebase console `Settings` pane. The sender ID is used to identify each app server that can send messages to the client app.

#### Why do you build another local notification
Yes there are `react-native-push-notification` and `react-native-system-notification` which are great libraries. However
- We want a unified local notification library but people are reporting using react-native-push-notification with this repo has compatibility issue as `react-native-push-notification` also sets up GCM.
- We want to have local notification to have similar syntax as remote notification payload.
- The PushNotificationIOS by react native team is still missing features that recurring, so we are adding it here

Try update your SDK and google play service. If you are having multiple plugins requiring different version of play-service sdk, use force to lock in version
```
dependencies {
    ...
    compile ('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1') {
        exclude group: 'com.google.android', module: 'support-v4'
    }
    compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:10.0.1') {
        force = true;
    }
   ...
}

#### I'm not getting notfication when app is in background
1. Make sure you've uploaded APNS certificates to Firebase and test with Firebase's native example to make sure certs are correct
2. Try simple payload first, sometimes notification doesn't show up because of empty body, wrong sound name etc.

#### I'm getting `com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzqf;`
It is most likely that you are using other react-native-modules that requires conflicting google play service
search for `compile "com.google.android.gms` in android and see who specifies specific version. Resolve conflict by loosing their version or specify a version resolve in gradle.

Check open from tray flag in notification. It will be either 0 or 1 for iOS and undefined or 1 for android. I decide for iOS based on [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20569201/remote-notification-method-called-twice), and for android I set it if notification is triggered by intent change.

- for iOS, you can do it in `didReceiveRemoteNotification` in `appDelegate.m`

#### What about new notifications in iOS 10
Congratulations, now you have 5 notification handler to register!
in sum
- `willPresentNotification` is introduced in iOS 10 and will only be called when local/remote notification will show up. This allows you to run some code **before** notification shows up. You can also decide how to show the notification.
- `didReceiveNotificationResponse` is introduced in iOS 10 and provides user's response together with local/remote notification. It could be swipe, text input etc.
- `didReceiveLocalNotification` is for iOS 9 and below. Triggered when user clicks local notification. replaced by `didReceiveNotificationResponse`
- `didReceiveRemoteNotification` is for iOS 9 and below. Triggered when remote notification received.
- `didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler` is for both iOS 9 and 10. it gets triggered 2 times for each remote notification. 1st time when notification is received. 2nd time when notification is clicked. in iOS 9, it serves us the purpose of both `willPresentNotification` and `didReceiveNotificationResponse` but for remote notification only. in iOS 10, you don't need it in most of the case unless you need to do background fetching

Great, how do I configure for FCM?
It is up to you! FCM is just a bridging library that passes notification into javascript world. You can define your own NSDictionary and pass it into notification.
